Pine beds, as with all other types of bed, come in a variety of styles and finishes. Once the pine bed has been crafted it can be finished or lacquered to produce the different finishes - some of which will cost more than other. Examples of finishes for pine beds include a natural finish, antique finish or waxed finish. Pine can of course be painted as well although you will not see this as often with pine beds. Shops selling pine beds may suggest that you apply a new coat of wax to the bed once or twice a year. This will help maintain the condition of the pine and regenerate the finish. In some furniture shops, you will be able to buy a pine bed which has not been finished. You can then choose the finish you like best and apply it yourself once the bed is delivered. This is a good way of saving money on pine beds. Always remember when choosing pine beds that pine darkens with age so it is important not to buy furniture which is too dark to start with.
Pine beds can be some of the cheapest beds available. However, as with a lot of things, the better quality pine beds will cost more.
